> World Class Baseball (TG-16 VC - one of my favorites) Baseball 17 returns in the fourth edition of the classic franchise, developed by MLB.com. @FinalFrog I'm happy I made the purchase. Shouldn't this be called R.I.P. I even bought the 3DS downloadable baseball game (I understand the Japanese version was good, the US version was poor, but was baseball on the go). However, that's not what it aims to do.
Darn. The control scheme is very straightforward, which is one of the few things the game has going for it. Hitting well is a challenge, and scores are fairly realistic. I was tempted to pick this up since I've been tired of downloading roster hacks for the original R.B.I on the NES but these reviews are scaring me away, I'll prob wait til a price drop cause this really does scream smartphone version. Honestly, with this in mind they should've just gone the Bases Loaded route and used 8-bit graphics to cover up the flaws. @FinalFrog The Dodgers did beat the Cardinals in the 2009 NLDS, but otherwise you're correct that the Cardinals own the Dodgers (and Clayton Kershaw in particular) in the playoffs. @Donutman there's a Kingdom New Lands review on NL? After the update I actually really like NBA playgrounds. When you reposition your pitcher or batter they’ll simply slide around rather than actually move properly. bring back Power Pro baseball... would be awesome on the switch . ". @Captain_Gonru I would love a Ken Griffey comeback! Also, the controls are offered in "classic" or "modern", though without a physical manual, I have not figured out the differences. This problem has plagued this title since it was relaunched.
I understand why anybody looking for a more modern experience would be disappointed, but as a longtime fan of the RBI series (especially RBI 2) it's everything I want a baseball video game to be.
I've seen far worse games get a 5 here. It could have been so much more, but that has always been the case with RBI Baseball.
Fast forward to 2017 and the series is finally making its way back to a Nintendo console. Was playing it last night and again this morning. Your breakout MLB season is on Nintendo Switch!
You acan hit and run, bunt, steal basea, but cannot align the defense (ala Joe Madden). Picked this up today. Character models are similarly undetailed, though it’s impossible to tell, as the camera never zooms in on a character. I have gamers club at best but, so everything is 20% off, so it's closer to $20.
I guess Hamster needs to bring on super baseball 2020!!! I don't have a ton of confidence when I say that, though. R.B.I. R.B.I. No motion controls. Almost impossible to hit the ball the direction you want.
I wish they would make a good arcade baseball and football game, there used to be tons. This sounds like it does not, so I'll stick with my SNES.

If you would have told me over 10 years ago that in 2017, we'd only have one legitimate baseball sim still on the market and it was a console exclusive, I probably wouldn't have believed it. as the pace of the games is nice and brisk, and the fielding mechanics and throwing are silky smooth. It's a shame. Baseball is my favorite sport, but the last few offerings from this series have been forgettable at best. If you want a fun baseball game for the Switch, and aren't looking for a realistic simulation but more so just arcade fun, this is a great choice. It also analyzes reviews to verify trustworthiness. Guess I'll just have to hope for one of the Neo Geo baseball games to make an appearance on the eShop. I'm having a blast with it. @MonkiPlays: Might be the worst retail game on the Switch, but the eShop has some far worse offerings. It has some fun to be had despite the controls feeling worse than the ones from the 90's.

To keep things moving quickly, there are only 3 available pitch speeds in the game - slow (holding Up/W), normal (no direction control), and fast (holding Down/S). They made good western baseball games that reminded me of Ken Griffey Jr's for SNES and N64. Baseball seem to be only partially aware of market trends, as the game seems unable to decide if it wants to be a retro-inspired arcade-style baseballer, or a modern simulation-style affair.
I miss the MLB slugfest series. RBI is basically trying to capitalize on and fill the void 2K baseball left on Xbox after they stopped making the series in 2013.

I do wish it had the pennant winners like RBI Baseball 3 did. 5 stars for fast shipoing. Scoring PolicyReview copy provided by MLB Advanced Media. Baseball 17 returns in the fourth edition of the classic franchise, developed by MLB.com.
Hoped this was good but feared the worst, and Steve's review reinforces what I'd heard about this on other systems. You certainly sound like somebody who might appreciate it. http://supermegabaseball.com/site_smb2_wp/. I was hoping for a quality, real simulation baseball title. Now you have to own a PS4 if you want a legitimate baseball sim these days. The Cardinals merely hold a 3-2 edge in the five times it's happened, although they are the only team with a winning record against the Yankees in the World Series out of teams who have played them more than once. It's a really hard game to recommend. The commentator is generic, only saying foul ball, safe, out, etc (no commentary--which in other games can get repetitive). At the end of the day, I think RBI might be what I'm looking for, a quick fun baseball game w/o the depth I don't have time for. @Donutman yeah, I have it on PC, and it's a blast. I loved the days of NBA Jam and NFL Blitz. @Krambo42 That's all I wanted to know. And worst of all, the hitting is extremely difficult.
@crackafreeze: That is the Canadian version. Android iOS (iPhone/iPad) ... Fast paced fun: Intuitive swing controls and classic R.B.I. In 2017, sports games have largely moved away from arcade-style titles in favour of more simulation-like experiences. It was a bit easier when they owned the Mariners.
You don't hear much about baseball these days, do you? The stadiums are filled with “cardboard” spectators, which is something we haven’t seen in a long time. Scored a combined three runs.
A quick glance at the most popular sports titles in the world - Madden and FIFA - will tell you all you need to know about the direction in which the market has been headed for the last 20 years.". I just delved into this one, and have concluded that this RBI Baseball is EXACTLY what RBI Baseball has always been: Nothing more that an itch-scratcher. The parallels between this and Double Dragon 4 are obvious. Take control of your game with reactive pitching and batting systems that allow for in-the-moment decisions. https://twitter.com/olrodlegacy/status/908459430160695296. >> World Class Baseball (TG-16 VC - one of my favorites) Baseball 17 returns in the fourth edition of the classic franchise, developed by MLB.com. @FinalFrog I'm happy I made the purchase.
